 Silverstone PS 08 Case Review

 

Introduction

We all know of Silverstone as a truly prolific manufacturer of cases and are most likely familiar with their excellent Temjin, Fortress and Raven lines.  What many don't know is that in the "Precision" series Silverstone also produce a line of value cases.  Latest to wear the PS moniker, the PS-08, is a very small mid tower case.  Standing just over 30cm tall and only a little wider than a 5.25" drive, it's still able to accept coolers up to 140mm and GPUs up to 355mm.  On the surface at just £36 the PS 08 looks like it might be able to provide something stylish for those for whom every penny counts.

The white doesn't really help it. On the plus side, it has better cable management then most of the cases in that price point and it'll be better built. Just need to see it in black before I'd use it over something like the K280 from coolermaster.Quote
